Author: CQ, 16-05-2022 17:05 medusa - Where the Beauty Reached medusa, but I refuse to use glitches/bugs to abuse it, so this is gg. Great map (10/10), sadly requires form of a cheating (0/10) to beat in a reasonable time, so 5/10 overall
Author: Thanh (Vietnam), 22-07-2021 19:21 Great map overall - Where the Beauty The Luzary have clear advantage over 3 ramaining heores, she has Titan ( one of the best 7th creature, actually the best for early battle) and support with archery. she can capture other towns with minimum loss before access to resurrection. Bessary completely trash, gold dragon cannot be resurrect and resistance is bad. Welmary has the best speacialy but Fortess is kinda bad. Annary is 2nd best hero, Behe is good and offense is nice though( not good as arrmorer in very high lv). Many tough battle ( Medusa battle is like unable to win without reading insruction). For me the toughest opponent is ASH( medusa is ez when u know game mechanic otherwise impossible), unable to use magic and i manage to loss few meatshield, still didnt remember how.
Author: Kako (Santa Maria, Brasil), 07-11-2020 20:26 Like Great feelings - Where the Beauty Man, the map is insane!
I´m not fast player and i finished the map in 5-2-1, my best result in fanmaps.
I played with Luzary(Orrin). For me is the best hero to lead this map, because of the archery speciality and it has Titans since the beginning of the game.
At First glance the map seems impossible. The hero Maysh has a lot of movement points. But Lord Hart spells and Castle building is going to help you to defeat her.
Some heroes are very hard to defeat: Thant (i fought him without bonus artifacts and creatures you acess travelling the monolith), Irene, Ash e Malekith.
To defeat Malekith i split 6 black dragons (gold dragons don't work because in my game Malekith casts implosion), first you cast antimagic on Titans and then you move the dragons to protect the titans and 1 black dragon. Second turn: cast force field and the Titans will finish the service.
There is a pandora's box with all kinds of expert magic for 10k. I'm my opinion you don't need fire magic to win this scenario, because you fight Irene (the strongest enemy in map) in magic plains. Air Magic is useful when you fight Voldemort and in other ocasions.
The map gives you a different experience than others do. Because of that, I give the highest score.
Author: Veselin (Bulgaria), 11-06-2020 21:59 This map is unplayable... - Where the Beauty The map is buggy and not working at all. First i started it with Heroes 3 Complete, but it freeze every time when i click end turn. Then i moved it to Heroes 3 SOD and there freezing is gone, but when Lord Haart come, he has zero stats and level 6424. He is unusable and i can`t progress any further without him. The computer players come at day 3 with huge army and killing everything.

Responce - Where the Beauty
Lorh Haart gives you a lot of money every turn. He is not for fighting. But he can win against Mash. Just use Lighting chain and Antimagic during the battle. Don't forget to hire Mash. Some bugs are really possible in first 3 turns. Then all is OK.
Author: llVIU, 11-03-2020 03:58 1/10 unplayable and pitiful - Where the Beauty As if it wasn't bad enough that the map maker had a severe issue with either being an extremely ugly woman or a white knight who puts women on pedestals for their physical appearance... (seriously, every single god damn dialogue brought up 10 times how ''beautifu l'' women are and how ''useless& #039;' other people are).
But in the first week the enemy comes and annihilates every single hero and town I have with a billion units... what???
Also, It's nice to have arbitrary restrictions like no dwaven treasury or upgrade dragon building or tavern. Uhm okay? Why? 2-3 days pass and you build the tavern for me. What was the point of disabling it? And why did you make me have to guess that I only have 2 possible heroes to recruit from tavern? Just give them at start. Also... eagle eye specialty? Seriously? On a hero who doesn't even have eagle eye at all. Why... just why.

Its the kind of map where you have to be comfortable with all expert tricks, one of the hardest. The hero which attacks you day 3-4, you must kill him then recruit him next day in the tavern, he is Estates specialist. Without him you can't win the game.
What bugs need to be used to kill the hero's army 99/99 with magic with 4 titans?
Author: Sarpanim (Montreal), 02-02-2017 22:34 Very hard ! - Where the Beauty Hello, I did the card 2 times but without success.
The first time I stopped at a time out.
The second a hero with 1200 archangels (invincible).
I have a hard time understanding the strategy. Some heroes are very powerful.
My technique is that from the beginning I take the boat because I can not defeat maysh.
I can not find the strategy to adopt. I manage to defeat all the castles above, all the necropoles and the castles of the devils .. Then too hard, many attacks of super-powerful heroes.
Very hard !
What is the technique of the beginning?
The map is great.
Author: Wicker, 24-12-2016 16:10 Finished - Where the Beauty Excellent map, really nice battles, few quite challanging. Finished at 5/1/1. Only annoying thing for me was those invasions. I think better solution would be to have one invasion lets say each week with challanging hero (as EOTW 3 has it if i remember correctly). But great map nonetheless.
Author: Wicker, 23-12-2016 18:13 Medusa - Where the Beauty Hello, one more question. When fighting medusa, i do "phoenix trick" as sugested and it works fine. Then few rounds medusa does nothing and then she cast blind a starts attacking. She cannot attack shooters under phoenix but she kills everything else and then i cant do nothing. I mean i cant control invisible shooters anymore. Am I doing someting wrong? Thx for reply.

"Please tell Wicker that he doesn't need to defend all his towns. Just abandon some for a while. And Medusa will be a puppet once her spell points run out. Before that, the player is the puppet. "

if this is Aeris redone, then map is very difficult and probably you can't anything about tweaking, except editor before game.
Original map was also very difficult, but this is even harder.

Problem is not difficulty of heroes, but their frequency. They are storng enough that i need my main hero or at least my main army, but then fights are boring and repetitive.

Author: Akrione (Xanthi,Greece), 12-05-2015 16:24 Great game so far-afraid of a bug Hello Aeris,very nice map.Only teal and pink are left.The one who is extremely powerful protects(spoiler spoiler) the fly spell.I saw it in the editor to be sure.It was kind obvious without looking but i wanted to be sure.Apart from this overpower dude there is a pink stronghold(easy) and the last town of teal(not easy).All need fly to be captured(i suppose).Now the problems:
a)when i go to the tavern to see information about players(army kingdom strength etc) there is no teal.Instead of teal there is a tan who is dead.I believe it happened in the beginning.Thus it shows me as the strongest,but we all know that teal's army is way bigger.So i am afraid that if i beat teal and pink,the game wont end,as it shows that there exists tan.
b)Is there a trick to beat teal with his many dragons?Or with just brute force?
that is all.thnx in advance

Hello, Akrione.
As to your questions:
1, Hmm, basically, In Kingdom Strength ranking, there is a number of total army value for every player. That digit measures up to 2^31. Teal is just too powerful to be displayed on ---- tens of thousands of dragons, right? That's a minus number. Tan is certainly dead already. Its "shadow" appears just to fill in the blank. Don't worry. You win immediately all enemies are killed.
2, Of course, there is a certain way to do that battle. She may seem ridiculously strong, but the Goddess of Love stands on your side. And the definite solution lies on the vice versa of a famous saying: the best defense is offense.
Akrione (Xanthi,Greece) writes:

I finally won :)
Spoiler alert
Hey bro.I managed to beat the dragons with the goddess of love as you said and with the efreet sultans.After that i beat pink and headed straight to teal's last castle.Well there i suffered a harsh defeat,i couldn't beat it.So i chose the coward's way.With the clock of undead,i beat all the monsters i left(esp 7level) ,1 teal soldier that was roaming in my castles and collected 34k liches.Well with those the last battle was easy.However to beat this it took 11 months :P.I never hurry in these games(not that i would do better if i was in a hurry).
Now i want to ask something irrelevant.Do you know a template so as to play alone random maps,without utopias,cheat artifacts?More than 2 players and not only M are appreciated.I haven't found anything clear on the net so i thought to ask the pro.

Author: DrMerdeev (Moscow, Russia), 19-01-2014 18:24 Great! Thanks a lot! This is the best map I have ever played! Very, very interesting!
I finished it at month 2, week 2, day 2 [lost few days for collecting all possible resources and 100k+ power liches].
But I missed badly “Big Strategy”. I mean at the end of the game your economy is huge: about +500k gold per day, ~50 castles with grail and tons of creatures. All know artefacts and heroes of 60+ levels. So you can unify your army for skeletons or demons. But actually all you need is to read forum and tricks. There is no big strategy and brute force, only tactics.
So I am waiting for the second part of the masterpiece!
Author: H3, 06-11-2013 13:53 Something wrong I played twice. First I defeated Medusa, and to proceed there is a Quest Guard with deadline M1W3D5 - I was too late. Second time I played (was running as quick as possible with Majsh) - captured all towns by M1W2D7 (2 weeks), this means I have 5 days to capture all underground - is this a joke?

Thank you for your fast answer and tip, I will check it. At the moment I need to fight Medusa again (playing from beginning again). This time I do not have Firebirds nor Phoenixes (last time I had them as bonus Monsters behind the guard). Could you please point where to get them? I see in map editor that there are Phoenixes (near Maysh starting point), but this places is unreachable again (it seams to me so :) ).

Author: Aeris (China), 07-12-2012 22:14 To Seoi The map is ok, just rename it, because system doesn't support Chinese characters, put it into the folder Maps and simply enter maps
Author: seoi (pol), 07-12-2012 21:51 made it 151 day's 494 pontis...not very good score but lovely map. Problem with bloodruby was to low defend skill + non elixir of life.
Areis could you send me Legend of Heroes? i have this problem when i download it from this site (can't even open it with map editor) ->
http://i49.tinypic.c om/2n7dyy8.jpg
Author: Aeris (China), 07-12-2012 12:12 To Seoi.... eh, efreet sultans must defend, so that its defense skill is high enough
and, I assume that Aphrodite has 99 defense skill? and armorer secondary skill. maybe you forget shield spell or elixir of life? or armor of damned?
Efreet sultans cannot be fear or extra acid attack or it will be lost
Author: seoi (pol), 04-12-2012 23:05 One more thing i have little request for you. Can you upload map "Legend of Heroes"? or any one else;) i cant download it anywhere. The one from this site dont work - dont know why:/ i remember than i played it some time ago.
thanks!
Author: seoi (pol), 04-12-2012 14:12 To Aeris You are pure genius :)
but i still have some trouble :/
first round rusty dragons attack sultans and get killed, next crystal and faerie but azure dragons kill sultans (about 1,6k left after others dragons attackt's) :/
Author: Aeris (China), 04-12-2012 08:45 To Seoi You are right
Of course you have to defeat Ash with great losses, try killing others all first and then, let titans(or archdevils) to stand near magogs, and ash won't attack - she has bow of sharpshooter
To kill bloodruby, aphrodite takes 4500 efreet sultans will be ok. take armor of damned, orb of tempesteous fire, orb of vulnerability, cape of velocity, 1 phoenix, first round casts shield and make efreet sultans defend
Special Note: This map is an adaption of "Eternal Love".
Most of the beauties who appear in the game are from ancient Chinese history.
Important Note: 1. Each playable color starts with a unique hero. It will be the most
exciting to try to play them all.
2. This map has the Impossible rating. The longer you wait, the more
powerful the AI's may grow. However, it's recommended that the map
is played on Impossible setting to get the highest score.
3. If you like to play this map or think you need more challenge,
please give the followings a try: The Uprising, The Lone Knight,
Eternal Love.
4. Never use the (auto) Restart option for it will render your treasurer
disappear. I've set Pink as Castle and the lost Knight, Lord Haart,
will appear in the map and contributes a lot to you.
5. Don't let your hundred-or-thousand-leveled hero gain too many experience
points. There will be three cases like this. If they gets just enough
experience, they can level up to tediousness or infinite. While a enormous
amount of experience can send them back to 0 level, which is just OK,
especially at the end of the game. The following shows the level and the
required experience:
Level 868 - Exp. 2144641867, Level 3732 - Exp. 2146553679,
Level 5920 - Exp. 2146673313, Level 6424 - Exp. 2147293156,
Level Endless - Exp. 2147400657.
6. Sometimes you can turn the Effects Volume off to make it quicker in
Monolith Portals to find some places.
Artifact Note: 1. Keep in mind not losing the artifacts which can be assembled into combo
artifacts, and their single components may come useful at any time. Also,
all swords and boots will be needed at the end. Don't lose them.
2. Although it is impossible unless players accidentally give up the artifact
Angelic Alliance to the AI's, the game will crash when the AI's equip it.
A severe technical glitch that is not been fixed yet.
3. If a seer is looking for an artifact, you can safely trade it with reward.
